Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year. The air gets cool, the leaves are beautiful, and the bin of sweaters makes its triumphant return from the attic. It’s also nice because there are just as many fun activities for families to do in the fall as there are in the spring and summer.
Here are six of my favorite things to do to pass the time during this time of the year.
6 Ways to Save on Family Friendly Fall Activities
Go Leaf Diving!
Can yard work be fun? If you’re going leaf diving, it can be! Just rake some leaves in a big pile and jump on it. It’s a classic fall activity that never goes out of style.
Visit your local pumpkin patch.
Pay a visit to your local pumpkin patch and pick out pumpkins together. If you’re getting more than one, pick out at least one pumpkin that’s a little on the deformed side. Ugly pumpkins need love too!
Enjoy carving your pumpkins using free pumpkin stencils.
Visit an apple orchard.
If pumpkin picking isn’t your thing (or you don’t have access to a pumpkin patch), a trip to an apple orchard is just as fun. Once you get the apples home, you can make some homemade applesauce.
Enjoy a hayride!
If you have access to one, a hayride is one of most fun fall activities there is. Just be sure to bring along a thermos full of hot apple cider to make the experience complete.
Bundle up, too if it’s cool out!
Five Ways to Transition Your Wardrobe from Summer to Fall
Hunt Leaves for Crafts
A stroll through the woods in the autumn can be so relaxing.
To make it fun for the kids, challenge them to find the most colorful leaves and then take them home to display on the fridge.
Get Lost in a Maze
If you’re lucky enough to live near a corn maze, you should definitely pay a visit during the fall for a fun family outing. Most maze attractions also offer other activities, like petting zoos and obstacle courses.
